It is always encouraging to hear from others who are trying the same route you're trying: kind of validates your efforts

I've noticed that I've got lots more energy, much fewer dizzy spells and being able to drink a coffee without burning up is such a relief. Don't worry: I only drink 2 or 3 cups a day!!!

However, I really think that the best part is that I'm now sleeping through the night. Not only does it mean I'm more rested, it also means that I'm calmer: being awake, unable to go back to sleep is VERY stressful!!!

I've even notice that even stress brought on by my son's school issues no longer send me for a loop as they normally would: sure, I'm upset and sure I am sad for him... but these phone calls no longer trouble me to the point of going on junk food binges. And they no longer prevent me from going on with my daily routine: I deal with them, absorb what the problem is all about and opt for what I hope is the right course of action. That's such a great feeling and, I'm sure, will mean that I'm more of a mother to my child.

One thing I've also noticed, and don't know if it's coincidental or related: I've been having much less problems with constipation. I do not have diarrhea, but the bowels are much looser than before. Someone mentionned that EPO could have been related to her GI problems... in her case diarrhea. Could it be a nice bonus for me?

One thing I'm planning to add to my regimen is Glucosamide, as I'm still having lots of problems with joint pains. Since I do not have a firm diagnosis for the pain... just a vague "arthritic pain" label... I'm thinking that it can't hurt to add one more product to the cocktail!!!
